**If I would like to cancel / postpone the lesson as scheduled, am I entitle for a replacement?
Yes, but you are required to inform at least 24 hours before your lesson, otherwise there will be no replacement for last minute cancellation and your lesson will be forfeited. (except emergency)

However, students who take advantage to cancel class frequently, will not be entertained and lessons will be forfeited.

Fees are payable on every 1st class of the month / 1st week of the month. Be a good payer!

Yes. Deposit will be collected - 1 month, non-refundable. If you prefer to stop lessons on that month, please give at least 1 month notice to utilise your deposit. No fees will be paid on that particular month.


**What if I'm late to a lesson?
Students have to be punctual for lessons. Students who late will lose those minutes of instruction because there are other students are scheduled right after your lesson. 


**When my son/daughter can go for Grade 1 music exam?
**When myself as working adult can go for Grade 1 or Grade 2 music exam?
Beginner (without music background) usually takes 1.5 to 2 years to go for Grade 1 music exam (after gone through initial & intermediate beginner level). 

Beginner (with music background) usually takes 1-2 years to reach Grade 2 to 4.

It depends on the student's progress - fast or slow learner; previously with/without music background; practice/seldom practice the exercises given by teacher and vice versa.
